The Best Social Media Reactions To Trump Calling Hillary A 'Nasty Woman'

Despite delivering what was widely considered his best of three volatile debate performances, Donald Trump still managed to thoroughly self-sabotage his dwindling chances at the presidency by reinforcing the perception that he is a sexist.

While his unprecedented and dangerous disrespect for the peaceful transition of power between administrations ("I'll keep you in suspense...") generated the most immediate backlash, Trump's gendered epithet directed at Hillary Clinton could be the blunder that drives home the final nail in his campaign's proverbial coffin.

All in all, the #nastywoman phenomenon is a classic example of a feminist re-appropriation of a deplorable insult hurled by a narcissistic, misogynistic, creepy old white dude, converting it into an effective rallying cry, a cause célèbre.

It's unclear why Donald Trump, who has repeatedly claimed he has "more respect for women" than anyone in history, can't stop saying insulting things about them.
